There's a guy still employed here who was nabbed for sexual harrasment, but he's STILL with the company, they shipped him off to a hell hole for a few years to sweep it under the rug. Oh the lady got her money from court, but the fact that he's still employed is exceedingly frustrating. I've met the man personally and he's slime.
I had the unfortunate experience to work with someone like that, he actually harassed one of my female colleagues when I was working on a North Wales Police HQ, she refused to make a compliant against him, so myself and a friend quietly got one of the WPC's who worked at the HQ to make a log of it, incase it happened in the future.

It did and this time, the same female colleague did make a complaint against him, but the man in question also happened to be very good friends with the owner of the company, so the owner naturally took his side, until we asked him to phone up this particular WPC and have her read out the log of the first incident to him, upon which, he promptly sacked the guy as it was pretty obvious that being associated with his man wasn't good for the reputation of the company.

After he'd sacked the guy, as a mark of respect for the female colleague, myself and the rest of my colleagues (9 people in all) resigned and got jobs with another company, so that was a big FU to our old boss as he'd already got rid of the man who caused the problem, but now didn't have any officers to cover his contracts.

It wouldn't have been too bad if he'd taken the side of the female officer first, but he actually accused her of lying saying that he'd known this guy for nearly 20 years and trusted him more than any other member of staff, wow! was he red faced in the end.

If you can safely manage the reduction in pay, I'd say take it, as for me, Quality of Life in work is worth far more than any amount of money.

Sometimes the stress of more sh!t for more money is worse than the stress of working for less money.
